해방 후 임순득의 ‘여성해방 의식’과 북한의 ‘장르문학’ 창작: 오체르크와 뿌블리찌스찌까에 대하여

Abstract

Before liberation, Lim Sun-deuk worked as a novelist and critic of women’s literature, and wrote literature that steadily cultivated a sense of feminism by moving to North Korean literature. In North Korea, only short story novels and essays are known, but she has also created genre literature called ‘Och’erk’ and ‘bbubulizzisuzzikka.’ This article mainly deals with ‘Och’erk’ in 「In Warm Hands」 and ‘bbubulizzisuzzikka’ in 「The Holiday of Peace」. but we will explore the feministic consciousness of Lim Sun-deuk. In North Korean literature, Lim Sun-deuk’s sense of femininity is found to be ‘laborer-woman’ or ‘mother-woman’ in accordance with socialist ideas and systems. This seems to indicate Lim Sun-deuk’s limitations due to his ideological color, but considering that there were no ‘female writers’ or ‘female literature’ in North Korean literature at that time, it can be seen that he has already achieved feministic achievements. In this way, Lim Sun-deuk is the only writer who has served as a bridge between before liberation and after liberation with a sense of feminism.
